Its actually martial law inside the INC justified by a certain doctrine that he whoever will not submit will be cut off just like the drying branch of a tree. This make sense biblically. But the problem is when those who are swerving are those who are in power and the implementors themselves. As members would not like to be cut off and eventually ex communicated they are forced to swallow what is fed. I feel that there is actually a rebellion going on in the heart and mind of the INCs. But knowing their discipline, their collective implosion holds up to now. However, very obvious effect of this rebellion is the reported decrease of the "abuloys" in the hundreds of thousands in many localities, as reported. Without the issues cleared, I believe it is really just a matter of time.
dangerous doctrine.....without grievance mechanisms in place,
any organization will tend to explode.....
this was how more than 700 people ended up murdered in Guyana...
at the hands of cult leader Jim Jones....
the leaders in any church are not saints, tao rin lang sila subject to human frailties....
if i were in their place, i could have built schools and hospitals and housing for poor members instead...
but then i would not know what ideas my wife will have....she even might have relatives..
church members are people too, endowed by God with a free will and a spirit yearning to be free...
with conscience...there is a fine line with becoming a member and a freemen....
